I'm bridging myXfinity modem with my NetGear WNDR3700v3 router. I chose to enable bridge mode on my Xfinity router (Technicolor DPC3941T), not sure what to configure on my WNDR3700v3 (using dd-wrt) for the bridge mode to work correctly . The WNDR3700V3 is in AP mode right now, I cannot get internet access. Can someone point me in the right dirrection with which setting(s) I need to change? I have sluggish internet speeds and just want to turn off the routing function on the DPC3941T and enable routing with the WNDR3700v3, see if that helps with my internet speeds.

If the DPC3941T is in bridge mode, and the WNDR3700v3 in in AP mode,
then you would appear to have no router. You might do better with one
of these devices acting as a router.

So, not "AP mode", then. I'd do a settings reset on the WNDR3700v3,
which I assume would restore it to full-function router mode, but, if
it's running DD-WRT, then you may need to consult the DD-WRT
documentation on that question.

The non-psychics in your audience may know little about your "my
internet speeds", or what causes them to be whatever they might be
(however you might have measured them).
